FAQ
What does 15% off mean?
You pay 85% of the original price and save 15%.
How do I find the original price from the sale price?
Divide by the percent you pay: after 10% off the price is ¥180, so the original is 180 ÷ 90% = ¥200.
Is 20% off better than ¥20 off every ¥100?
Work it out: on ¥150, 20% off costs ¥120 while ¥20 off every ¥100 costs ¥130, but the answer can change with the price.
